Other exterior appointments include 17-inch 'Supersport' alloy wheels finished in a unique glossy grey, Brembo brakes with black calipers, an Akrapovic exhaust system with carbon-trimmed tailpipes, and Abarth by Koni suspension with adaptive dampers.

Inside, the 695 Rivale appears to get the choice of a carbon-fibre dashboard insert or a wood one – according to images on the UK website – while beautiful blue leather covers the seats and door inserts. There's also a 7.0-inch Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Under the bonnet is a 1.4-litre turbo four developing 134kW of power and 250Nm of torque. Abarth claims a 0-100km/h sprint in 6.7 seconds (6.9 for the robotised sequential auto), on its way to a top speed of 140mph (225km/h).
